Chapter 10- lord Kazu
How long has it been? How long have I waited for you to return to me? I remember, quiet clearly in fact, of the day we met and the six days to follow. In those 7 days, my parents were killed during the raid of the palace, I was kidnapped, my life would have surly ended if it not had been for you who saved my life, and my heart was stolen. We had but only one week together. Unknowingly on the 7th day you departed, taking my heart with you. You left me but only a promise that you would return to me someday.
Every time I close my eyes I see your face. My heart, my love will only belongs to him. I'll wait for him till the every end. I'll wait for you to return to me my dearest love Sesshomaru.
It had been 2 full years since Rin had last saw Sesshomaru. And everyday she would walk to the cliff, and scan the ocean waters and skies hoping that it would be the day he returned to her. Sesshomaru knowingly had twins now. The night Sesshomaru and Rin mated, was the night Rin became pregnant with his children.
Rin gave birth to a healthily baby boy and a beautiful baby girl. They were name, Taro and Tara. Taro looked just like his father, in every single way, but there was one thing different, Taro had one black strip among his long silky hair. Tara on the other hand looked like her mother, she had long silky black hair, and like Taro (sort of) had one strip of silver hair among her black hair. Rin loved her children and could not wait until lord Sesshomaru had returned, to their little family.
Rin was queen of the eastern lands, and had returned it back to it formal glory. But all was not well in the times peace. The elders of Japan had came to her 3 months ago. They told her that if she did not wed some then her thrown would be given to another. They brought many men for her to take as her husband, but every time Rin turned them down, saying she was waiting the return of the father of her children. They told Rin if Sesshomaru did not return in 3 month, on the night of the full moon she would be wed to the lord of the south, Lord Kazu. Lord Kazu was a cruel leopard demon lord. He hated Rin as she did he, but he wanted her lands so he agreed to marry Rin.
But when Rin refused to agree, the elders told her this "you must agree or the lives of your children will be taken"
The night of the new moon was coming soon, but still Rin never gave up hope for her love's return. Rin soon returned back to the castle. She walked threw the many door, and down the long halls until at last she came upon the thrown room.
"Guard!" Rin said softly to the guard that stood in front of the door to the thrown room.
"Yes ma'lady?"
"Can you send for my children?"
"Yes ma'lady" he said bowing to her before leaving to find her children.
It only took ten minutes before her children walked into the room. Both smiling as they ran to their mother. The guard returned to his post out side the door, as Rin put both of her children on her lap.
"Mommy!" chimed Taro "guess what!"
"What my little prince?" said Rin smiling at her only son
"Tara screamed when a frog jumped at her face!"
"Did not!" Tara growled defending her self
"Yea huh"
"Nu-hu"
"Ok you two stop arguing" Rin said to them
Though the twins were only two, they obeyed their mother right away.
"Now I need to talk to you both about something, something important…I've told you of your father, have I not?" the twins smiled and nodded "well the elders of the land have told me I can no longer wait for him…they are making me marry lord Kazu, and his is to be your new father…you will respect him and be on your best manners no matter what! Now I want you both to go and get ready for his arrival, now go"
"But mommy…." The twins started not wanting to believe their mother was giving up on their father of which their mother had told them so much about
"No buts now go" Rin demanded as she began to cry.
The twin left the room. They had to do something but what? They were only 2 years old. They walked to their room and got ready just as their mother had told them to. Gloom hung over their heads as they looked out of the window. And who should they see? Their mother was running across the lush green grass, they knew where she was running to. They knew she would head to the cliff where father jumped into the icy sea to save her. That's where their mother always ran off to when she was upset or just wanted time to be alone. Their ears drooped, for with their demon hearing they could hear their mothers sobs of sorrow.
"Taro we have to do something" Tara said to her twin
"I know sister but what?"
They sat there thinking, sharing each others thoughts.
"Hey I've got it!" they both yelled "are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Mother said our father the lord of the west!" Taro began
"So if we write a letter to him explaining who we are" Tara said next
"And what is going to happen to mother if he doesn't return" said Taro smiling at he's sister
"Then he'll have to come right away!" Tara cheered
"And if we send it now he'll have plenty of time to get here before the wedding!" they said together
And that was that they set away with writing the letter.
Lord Sesshomaru
Hello you have never met us so let me intrudes our selves; our names are Taro and Tara. We are twins. But the reason we are writing to you is not to let you know there are twins who know of you. No the reason is about lady Rin. The elders of Japan are going to force her to marry lord Kazu on the night of the full moon. She has been waiting for you all this time. She had refused many men who have asked her to marry them.
Ma'lord please if you truly love her like she says you do then please come and stop this wedding before it's too late. She is waiting for you. We hope you come quickly for she truly needs you more than ever. We know you love her for it was you who saved her life not once but twice, and both times you risked everything. Please Ma'lord return to lady Rin before the night of the full moon. She is waiting for you.
Signed Taro and Tara,
Your also awaiting children.
Tara rolled the scroll up neatly and called forth a messenger.
"Yes ma'lady?" said the messenger
"we want you to take the fastest horse and deliver this to lord Sesshomaru him self, you are to let no one read it, nor can you read, only the lord may open it; we trust you will get there in 2 days tops if you don't drag your feet, now go like the wind and don't stop till it's in his hands." Tara said to the messenger as she handed him the scroll
In a flash the messenger was on his way to the western lands. Taro and Tara smiled at each other for with luck their father would return to them and they would be one happy family. But their joy did not last long for the horn rang throw the air letting everyone know lord Kazu was at the gates. Taro and Tara scrambled out of the room they had to get to the thrown room and sit in their thrones beside their mother before lord Kazu came into the room. They used their demon speed to rush past everyone in their way. And just in time they made it into the thrown room, and they quickly sat down. Their mother eyed them as they were gasping for breath. The main door began to open and the twin quickly sat up straight and acted like they had been there for a good 30 minutes or so. Lord Kazu walked in the room boldly. A smirk across his face.
"Lord Kazu welcome to our kingdom" said Rin as she stood up and walked to him.
They bowed to each other and kissed each other on each cheek.
"Thank you"
"I hope your journey was comfortable?"
"Yes well I'd be lying if I said it was but that's what happens when you travel for four day to get here" he said smirking
His smirk disappeared when he spotted the twins "and who are this two?" he said nodding towards the twins
Rin smiled and proudly said "Those are my children, Prince Taro and Princess Rin"
The twins stood as they're names were called and bowed to lord Kazu.
"No one told me you had children, no doubt they are the result of that ungrateful lord of the west, did he ever return to you like he promised?" seeing her sad face he continued "well that's a dog demon for you, he got what he wanted from you and left, don't worry I won't ever do such a thing and I will even raise these two as my own and we will have many many more to come"
Rin just about wanted to cry, and her son was just about to lose his temper if it were not for his mother and sister being in the room then he would have attacked the lord right then and there. Thus far the lord was already on Taro and Tara's bad side. They would never call him father, ever.
